Britney Spears' ex denies sex tape rumors

The sex tape Britney Spears’ ex-boyfriend was said to be shopping around just doesn’t exist.

At least that’s the latest word from the man himself, Adnan Ghalib. The former paparazzo, who was once an ever-present fixture in the pop star’s life, is now speaking out.

Earlier this week, Heat magazine published a story detailing Adnan’s alleged attempt to sell a two-hour tape, which supposedly featured the “Toxic” singer wearing nothing but her once-signature pink wig. In an interview with Star, Adnan insists the report was completely fabricated.

“There is no sex tape, and I’ve never claimed there is one,” he said. “I don't know where these quotes I’m supposed to have said have come from. What I do know is they certainly didn't come from me and they are completely false.”

The ex-lensman went on to say the sex-tape story distressed him, and he intends to clear his name by taking legal action.

Fatherhood changed Russell Crowe Forget the hotheaded, phone-pitching Russell Crowe of the past. The Australian actor says he’s cleaned up his act and now has his temper in check, thanks to his two sons.

“The drinking thing has sort of taken a different place in my life since I had kids,” Russell told Extra. “There are a whole lot of things I don't do anymore because it affects my level of patience.”

And according to the star of the upcoming “Body of Lies,” being a dad to 4-year-old Charles and 2-year-old Tennyson is all about patience.

“I don't want to be in that place where I'm exasperated with these beautiful children,” he said.

Lindsay’s in a healthy relationship, says pal
